To all wlwnt it may concern:

Be it known hat I, Brmnon- P. Hrim, a

citizen of the United States, residing at 61 Church Street, Waterbury, county of New Haven, and'State of Gonnectlcut, have mvented certain. new and useful I Improvements in Cosmetic-Stick Holders, fully described and represented in the following specification and the accompanying drawings forming a part of the same.

This invention relates'to certain improvements in holders for cosmetic preparations, such as lipsticks, facial greases and the like, in which the cosmetic is applied by rubbing the cosmetic stick on the part of the person to which it is desired to apply the cosmetic.

It is the special object of the present 1nvention to provide an improved dispensing holder for cosmetic sticks, in -which the stick may-be propelled beyond the holder for applying the cosmetic and retracted within the holder when not in use, the parts, being designed so that they can be readily and quic'kly assembled and in which a positive propellin action for the stick in either direction is e ected without danger of the parts getting out of order.

The further object of the'inventionis to provide such a holder which will be.com-

pact, of attractive appearance, and which can be readily manipulated for use.

With these and other objects not specifically referred to the invention consists .in certain parts, arran ements and combinations which will be ullydescribed in connection with the accompanying drawings,

and the novel features pointed out in claims hereunto annexed.

In these drawings- Figure 1 is a side view of an improved holder.

Figure 2 is a vertical sectional view partly broken away on an enlarged scale.

Figure 3- is, a further vertical sectional view, the section being takenon line 33 of Figure 2. I I 4 Figure 4 is a cross-sectional view taken on line 44 of Figure 3. a

Figure 5 is another cross-sectional view 5 taken on line 55 of Figure 3.

' Figure 6 is a sectional side elevation: of-

the outer casing. v

Figure 7- is a similar view of. the inner or rotary casing.

Figure 8 is a side view of the stick car+ r1er;and- 4 Figure 9. is a perspective view of one connectlon wlnch may be employed for connect ng the stlck carrier and the propelling devices.

Referring nowto these drawings, the im-- proved holder will include an outer casing or barrel 1, preferably of light metal, which may be ofany desired size but whichgis in best constructions small, so as to be conveniently carried in a hand bag, vanity'case or' the like. This barrel is open at its lower end as indicated by a numeral 2, and at its upper end is formed with an inturned shoul-' der 3, and an opening l with which a member hereafter referred to copper-ates to form a discharge orifice. Near its upper end also the casing or barrel 1 is provided with a rim or bead 5, this bead acting as a stop for the lower edge of a cap 6 by which the bar rel may be closed. Located within this barrel is a stick carrler shown in theform of a cup 7 closed. at 'its bottom andopen at. its top, this cup being adapted to receive one end of a stick 8 of any desired cosmeticor toilet'preparae tion. This carrier is projected beyond the barrel for use, and withdrawn into the bar rel for non-use, a'propelling means of improved construction being provided for effecting this... While the specific construction of the carrier propelling devices may be somewhat varied, in the particular co'n-, struction illustrated the carrier is given a simultaneous longitudinal andv rotary moi tion in the holder. As shown the carrier is contained in a tube or casing 10, which. tube at its lower end is closed and has fixedly secured thereto, as by a rivet 11, a finger piece or cap 12, by which the tube may be rotated. Thiscap as shown at 13' in Figure 7 is spaced from the outer wall of W the tube 1O soas to permit the insertion'of the lower end of the barre1-1 in this space,- the tubethus being rotatable with respect to the barrel. y The tube 10 is formed on one side with a narrow longitudinal slot '14, "and. v .l rounding the tube is a helix or. spiral ,s'crev'fi, this hellxv being. preferably stationary. rela- ,tivelyto the tube. Whi1e this helix f ay .s'trnction it 1s threads, which is difficult in the thin metal of "which the parts are made.

stick carrier 7 and a sxnall'isize spring wire, as with such conunnecessary 'to out screw best constructions this connecting meanswill be, for ease in assembly, piece or part. p

In the particular construction shown the carrier 7 is provided with a narrow slot 15 in its :side, and the connection will include a key member having a nose 16 dimensioned to it the slot 15. On the side or face of the connecting member opposite the nose there an independent are provided two projections .17 between v dimensioned to receive I drop which is formed a groove or recess 18 the spring helix 19. With this construction the parts are readily assembled, it being necessary simply to bring the slots 15 and 14 into alignment, the connecting member into position in the slot 15 and wrap the helix about the tube. The spring is prevented from r0,- tating by inserting its lower. end 20 in: a notch or slot 21, the lower extremity of the wall of the-bar rel '1.

In the best constructions agstop is provided for limiting the upward movement of the stickcarrien. While this mav be "done in various ways as shown it is conveniently effected by turning down the up- I per end of the wire as indicated'at 22 in Figure 2, the hook thus formed projecting across th slot 14 affording a stop against the cap will at 524 1n Fi' re 7, so that the holder will which the connecting memberwill vabut when the parts arelln extreme projected "position.

Provision is made f r preventing thetube from being withdrawn outwardly from the barrel. Asshown this flaring "out. the upper is done by slightly edge of the tube 10 as indicated at=23 in Figure'fi, this flaring edge 23 lapping over onto assembled.

the tube 10 by a rivet, the central part of e slightly inset -asindicated stand uprig t on any'support hen desired without tipping or rockmg;

' With the construction shown" and described. it -'will be seen of few arts has been provided and'one in e parts may be readily and quickly- :assembled, and in which because I of the ab sence of screw threads very-light metal may sitioned within said casing, a slotted stick' .carrier positioned within said rotatable see' Figure 3, formed. in l the'flange- 3 of I the barrel 1 before referred to, this flaring I of the tube 10 done after the parts are one end thereof, a rotatab e 7 lie said inturned-fiange, that a simple holder be used thus providing a holder of very made in the construction and arrangement of the parts without departing from the inannexed.

What I claim is: 1. Ina cosmetic stick holder, the combination with an outer casing, of a rotatable tube having a' longitudinal slot therein povent-ion as defined in the claims hereunto tube, a helix loosely supported within the outer casing, and a loose key member extending through the slots in the stick holder and rotatable tube, said key member being provided with a helix engaging portion and a portion'arranged topositively engage and hold a stick in'said holder.

2. In a cosmetic stick'holder, the combination with an outer casing, of a rotatable tube having a longitudinal .slot therein poa slotted stick sitioned within said casing, holder positioned within said rotatable tube, a helix consisting ofa spring surrounding said rotatable tube, said spring having one end anchored to the outer casing,.and a loose key member arranged to extend through the slots in the stick holder and therotatable tube, said key. gaging recess at one end engage and hold a stickin said stick holder.

3. In a cosmetic stick-holder, the combination with an outer casing, of a rotatable tube having a longitudinal slot therein positioned within sald casing, a slotted stick holder positioned within said rotatable tube, a helix consisting of a spring surrounding said rotatable tube, said spring" being anchored to the outer casing and having a key member arranged to extend through the slots in the stick'holder and the rotatable tube, said key member having a helix-engaging portion at one end and a stick-engaging portion at .4. In a cosmetic stick'h'oldenthe combi-' nation of an outer casing having an inturned flange surroundin an opening at tube having a member having a helix-enthereof anda nose 11 5 its opposite end, and a. I removable cap covering the end of said-casg v longitudinal slot positioned within said casing, said tube'having its end flared to overa slotted. stick holder positioned within the rotatable .-tube; 'and arranged to move 5 longitudinally."withyref spect thereto, a helix stationarily supportedW-i.

and a loose "key-i within the outer casing, member extending through the slots in thej nation with an outer casing, of a' rotatable said slot in the rotatable tube tube having a longitudinal slot therein positioned within said casing, a slotted stlck holder positioned within 881d rotatable tube, a helix consisting of a spring loosely surrounding said rotatable tube, said spring I being anchored to the outer casing at one end and having its other endogerhangin and bent to form a stop, a-loose key member having an intermediate ortion arran ed to lie in-the slots in the stick holder an rotatable tube, said key member having a helix-engaging portion and a stick-engaging portion at o posite ends thereof, an a cap secured to t e rotatable tube for turning thelatter relatively to the outer casing.

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand.
